I’m type 2, have tried various meds the past few years and they all seem to have side effects - metformin = chronic diarrhoea/ dapa = severe thrush😒
the GP has now got me on pioglitazone 15mg.
I’ve been on it for 14 days and have put 7lbs on!!! WTF. If anything I’ve cut down on the calories so should’ve lost weight.
I’m creeping up on 20stone anyway so I literally can’t afford any more weight gain I’m also convinced I’m more out of breath but this could be the extra weight….
Any experiences of pio? Is the weight gain an initial thing that eases off or does it carry on?
Im going to speak to the GP next week and ask to come off it I think.
